Who is there, breathing in and out ?

Why a workshop on breathing and doing any breathing exercises ? Why interfere with or manipulate something that's so natural ? Similar to the pulsation of our heart beat we are being moved by its doing and it comforts to think that this is life at work in supporting us. "Let it be" I used to think and live our lives not meddling with this , instead better concentrate on what "we" are supposed to do or become as social beings and shape our individuality.
What I missed at that point is that breathing is also responsive. Responsive to our actions and thinking. It changes its patterns in situations and can also become part of a preferred pattern. A preferred pattern sounds comfortable, but a preferred pattern does set a boundary. A boundary in general means less space, less flexibility and stagnation in movement. Breathing as such is part of an embodied individuality and mindset.
In the training of tai chi chuan patterns in the body change by exercising and together with this patterns of breathing will naturally change. It provides you with a sense of freedom, vitality and ease and an improved sense of direction.
But every deep structural physical change reaches out to your sense of individuality, your habits and your mind. Its interconnected, and learning to recognize this is learning to appreciate the sincerity of your inhale and exhale in response to the heart-mind (Xin) and to take it as your guide.
